About us

Internationaler Kreis der Carl Friedrich Gauß Freunde e.V

The international team of Gauss Friends, founded in the year 2008, links the mutual passion for science and enthusiasm of the well-known German mathematician Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss. Thereby, different cultures converge here, which justify the richness of the inter-cultural competences of the international team and contribute consequently to a better world understanding. In this process, the Gauss Friends are characterized by a central idea, and are mutually connected as “guests of Gauss”: Friendship worldwide. True to Gauss’s spirit, many international country evenings, theatre plays and language courses are organized regularly by the Gauss Friends thus providing a bridge between culture and science.

Since 2017, shortly before the 10th anniversary of the Gauss Friends in 2018, the link to the university as part of the positioning at the Center for School Research and Teacher Education (Z_Schule) completed the vision of a firm, structurally anchored establishment of a practiced welcome and consulting culture at the Technical University Braunschweig. In addition to the organization’s activities, the "Gauss Haus Project" of the Center for School Research and Teacher Education has created a close exchange within the framework of the university’s structures on the challenges and opportunities of an international university.

Review

Gauss Friend is really a great social club where you can meet up with other students and spend some nice time with all the social events, parties, travelling and not to forget salsa tutorials. If you are new in Braunschweig and finding it really hard to make new friends, then come and be a part of this amazing community and feel the heat yourself :P

Gauss Freunde were invaluable in helping me to integrate in Germany. They helped me learn more about the language, the history, the region and I met some great people through them.
I was particularly impressed by their openness and their kindness. It is more than an organisation, but a community of people who are always looking to welcome newcomers with open arms and therefore I would recommend them to anyone.

The Gaußfreunde is an important part of experiencing life in Braunschweig. The opportunity to meet new people with a range of nationalities is unparalleled. Gaußfreunde is also the place to be during festivals, if not able to travel back home. The buddy program is like a blessing for all new students having problems with German language. Currently I am not able to work a lot with Gaussfreunde and I must say I really miss it.
